BC Premier David Eby has criticized Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs and called on the Trudeau government to respond forcefully. Eby argued that the tariffs would not only harm Canada but also negatively impact the United States.

He emphasized that Trump’s move would affect both countries equally. It is important to note that the United States is the largest market for British Columbia, accounting for about 54 percent of the province's total exports.

According to provincial government figures, BC's exports to the United States in 2023 were valued at over $30 billion, with the province primarily supplying wood products, agricultural products, energy products, and natural gas to the U.S.
